Glad you enjoy them. This one was to answer a LOT of comments and questions from the first one which I mistakenly thought was self explanatory. Thanks for watching.
We, thanks for revisiting lock washers. Personally, I use lock washers to hold my socks up on cold mornings and find them ideal to keep underwear with worn out elastic in place! Seriously though, a good supply of these types of lock washers are essential to any guitar repair shop. BTW, some time ago, you had a video in which you removed some duct tape from a guitar body. I asked you what you used for that since the video didn't show that process. You suggested naptha. Shortly afterwards a young man walked into my shop with an otherwise gorgeous G&L Legacy Tribute that he found at a thrift shop. Someone had previously applied numerous stickers on it. He wondered if I knew how to get them off without destroying the finish. Needless to say, the naptha worked great, and quickly removed the stickers. It also removed a couple of spots of a nasty sticky residue that was also on the body. Previously I used 'Goo Gone', or 'Old English Lemon Oil'. Both worked but take more time and don't easily achieve the same results. So while I know how to easily remove stickers, I'm am still left wondering why people put them on their guitars in the first place? Thanks for that help...
Glad I could be of help to you. BTW I buy Naptha by the gallon.... I use it for cleaning, wet sanding (lacquer, poly, not varnish) Raising grain on wood for sanding, and a lot of other stuff.
In case you did not catch it, check out the Gibson Barn find video. I used naptha to scrub the whole guitar down first thing! Blue Dawn, 409, and Naptha are my main cleaning agents! :)
As simple as it is efficient but few manufacturers use it! Thanks for the valuable tip.
Most of them used to, some (Fender) still do in the US models. Ran into two more today in the shop with either stacked or no washers at all.
Simple but essential !!! Lock washers 101. Thanks
Lock washers 101.5 for the Hardware challenged!
I always enjoy your videos. Thank you.

@@guitarc.p.r.9675 Actually I did miss that video, but I'm glad you pointed out the naptha bath. Thank you!
The output jack has a smooth area that contacts the body. How does a lock washer grip the jack? Can you solder the lock washer to the jack?
The washer's teeth bite into the jack surface. Same on pots, and anything else it contacts. There is absolutely no reason to solder the washer on.
